5. SASAMI feat. Clairo - In Love With a Memory - First time hearing this, great song!

6. Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

I think Mary sealed her fate with that poorly titled song. I wish Family Affair had been given its moment.

01 SASAMI feat. Clairo - In Love With a Memory - I really enjoyed this <3

05 Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

Not the strongest bunch for me if I'm honest

If we lose Rina without having us even TOUCH the ‘SAWAYAMA’ era… I s2g!!!!

But this song may indeed seal her fate. Aaagh! (I actually like the song)

Then you know what to do 😉

01 Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do > My favourite Ellie song! So euphoric and just HUGE! <

02 Avril Lavigne - When You’re Gone > One of her best! Soooo good and a classic! <

03 SASAMI feat. Clairo - In Love With a Memory > Another lovely discovery! <

04 Christina Aguilera feat. Lil’ Kim - Can’t Hold Us Down

05 Mary J. Blige - I’m Goin’ Down

06 Rina Sawayama - Send My Love to John > Rina might be lucky that Mary is in this round with her choice... as lovely as it is... I do think I would have tried to avoid this song if I could! <

07 Addison Rae - Fame is a Gun > I'm really not getting into Addison the same way everybody else seems to be. :( <

A nice round. Not amazing. Ellie and Avril are (near - in the latter's case) career bests for those artist.

I don't even dislike the Addison song. It's fine.

The top three are global smashes i love them all!!

Incredibly tough round, no bad song at all!

The Ellie song is atrocious and the Rina song really isn't very foos. I think they both in danger guurl

1 Avril Lavigne - When You’re Gone (might be my favourite Avril song: she delivers it with so much feeling)

2 SASAMI feat. Clairo - In Love With a Memory (this has a lovely dance style feel with some amazing electronic production)

3 Addison Rae - Fame is a Gun (another very strong single, still with the dreamy feel but with a bit more punch to it)

4 Mary J. Blige - I’m Goin’ Down (a cover but the vocals are extraordinary)

5 Rina Sawayama - Send My Love to John (this has a slightly country vibe to it - I do like it)

6 Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do (it is a tune but we’re back to commercial Ellie now)

7 Christina Aguilera feat. Lil’ Kim - Can’t Hold Us Down (a strong lyrical message but musically I’ve always found this a little bland)

Looks like Ellie has survived with her joint worst song ever (with that crap with Calvin Harris over an electronic beat, need tour love, words cur off perfectlt, sanitised dance beat starts), so she should go pretty far now
